I'm pretty sure that those "Got it" cookie consent popups achieve less than nothing. Not only do they not comply with GDPR but the also piss off users where the GDPR doesn't apply.

Also the CSS for the popup seems broken the button isn't properly visible.

I generally think of obtrusive cookie consent popups as a kind of #maliciouscompliance revenge from villains who are sore about GDPR protections.

This is a US based org so they probably have no idea what they are doing around PII data other than what's required by US law and even then.
